“They tried to weaken higher education, but instead they built a movement to fight for the future...
They can attack our institutions, but they cannot stop our movement….We will not stop until we have the higher education system and the democracy we all deserve.”
— Todd Wolfson, AAUP President
transphobia is a luxury belief, which is why it’s so prevalent among beltway types who don’t have real problems

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota county investigates ICE arrest of Hmong American man as a potential case of kidnapping and false imprisonment.
People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.
I hope more people focus on the import of this turnout last year. Not least bc standing up to bigotry can itself be a rallying cry.
Magyar’s speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: “He’s basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired.”
Democrats take note: in addtion to requiring obvious SCOTUS reforms (packing the court, jurisdiction stripping, tying 'good behaviour' to a code of ethics, etc.) we need to make sure Trump and all his goons will be tried at The Hague.
People stayed home because Harris & co listened to BIden on genocide and never Trumpers on everything else who, let's be clear, lost Democrats the presidency AND the House, allowing Trump to speedrun fascism.
Remember when you threatened violent insurrection if Trump lost in 2016? Fun times.
Agreed. We have to reckon with this. Soon.
Screenshot of a headline from politico that reads: fears over who can win in 2028 are already surfacing among democrats
Here's the thing: Democrats already know who can win. They know which policies are popular with voters and which candidates are vocally in support of those policies. They're going to throw a billion dollars into trying to prevent those candidates from becoming the nominee.
Bannon and Trump may have promoted the COVID lab leak but it was fueled by irresponsible journalism—folks looking for scandal and ignoring overwhelming evidence, probability, and expert consensus.
I’m still mad about it.
Murderous eugenicist.
You see RFK as a freak you can compare to disabled people, but he's a normal white man who sees himself as a norm & wants to eliminate disabled people.
I never want to hear another Democrat positively quoting or praising Ronald Reagan for as long as I live.

Elon Musk didn’t go to the moon.
Jeff Bezos didn’t go to the moon.
NASA went to the moon.
I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
Turns out that you cannot, in fact, learn by osmosis.
You have to do the work.
Outsourcing it to a chatbot only holds you back. If you become dependent on AI to do even basic learning tasks, you degrade your critical thinking faculties.
Khan was always overhyped.
Khan + AI? Outright harmful.
Think about how many brains are being absolutely COOKED by sycophancy right now
It really says something that a neoliberal like Buttigieg sees echoes in the war/imperialism allegory sci-fi franchise and not the US puppet state actively carrying out a genocide in Palestine and ethnically cleansing Lebanon.
If you wonder why students protested loudly under Biden but aren’t as visible under Trump, it’s because they thought they had some margin of safety to speak on campus then. Even before Trump 2.0, they learned administrators and political leaders were willing to harm them instead. So here we are.
WELL if protests are happening why am i not seeing them in the news? the media surely has no reason to attempt to suppress this information. i am very smart
Your organizing targets are the people most likely to give you what you want. THAT IS HOW YOU CHOOSE ORGANIZING TARGETS.
Neoliberals & never-Trumpers criminalized protest, blacklisted them with charges of antisemitism, and provided Trump the legal fig leaf to abduct, deport, and murder them…
And now you don’t care they’re STILL doing the work you refuse to do. You just want the spectacle.
“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age
Ha. No, baggy, I’ve definitely revised my opinion—specifically about the sheer credulity of ai-boosters and vibe coders who’ve (as the science repeatedly shows) lost their capacity to think critically and make human connection.
JFC. They literally named it Mythos.
And it's not that it's powerful. It's not.
It's that Anthropic is so inept they're trying to brute force it to be better (throwing endless chips and money at it) and it's still an unthinking stochastic parrot, built on plagiarism, promoting fascist unreality.
Hey @nytimes.com —
Not to be pedantic, but Mamdani has long since 'acknowledged' job woes, something budget watchdogs and business leaders didn't give a fuck about since they were the ones, you know, doing the firing.
Critiques are valid but, FFS, do some basic journalism.
"Some people say..." 🙄
posting this shit when you’re owned by a billionaire is basically a recruitment ad for socialism
